In a powerful stride toward inclusive empowerment, Fit 5 Club is set to host a transformative 15-day Residential Summer Camp for children with intellectual disabilities, from 29th May to 12th June 2025 at the iconic Atal Bihari Vajpayee Training Centre for Disability Sports, Gwalior.
This isn’t just a camp—it’s a bold new vision that merges India’s ancient Gurukul values with modern sports science to build not just athletes, but strong, confident human beings.
Gurukul Living: Awakening the Mind, Body & Soul
Each morning begins with a deep dive into ancient Indian traditions—designed to promote holistic wellness and inner balance:
Gentle Stretching & Wake-Up Rituals
Yoga & Meditation to enhance focus, calm, and clarity
Vedic Havan & Mantras for spiritual grounding and discipline
Biological Age-Building Exercises that improve strength and stamina
“We are here to develop good humans along with good athletes,” says Bhoopendra Bhatt, Camp In-Charge, a respected coach with vast experience in disability sports.
Championing Excellence: Training with Elite Coaches
Led by a team of experienced professionals, the camp offers customized sports training in a variety of disciplines:
Ranjita Singh – Hockey Coach
Priyanka Jonwal – Basketball Coach
Piyush Dwivedi – Football Coach
These coaches bring elite expertise from Special Olympics, Khelo India, and Para-Sports, ensuring each athlete receives training that matches their unique potential.
Additional Support Includes:
Injury prevention & posture correction
Nutrition & fitness counseling
Adaptive sports programs tailored for varied abilities
Beyond Sports: Empowering Expression & Creativity
This camp doesn’t just build bodies—it nurtures minds and hearts, too. Children will engage in:
Theatre & Voice Expression Workshops
Photography & Videography Sessions
Health & Hygiene Awareness
Team Bonding & Communication Games
These activities boost self-esteem, creativity, and social confidence.
Talent Identification & Lifelong Mentorship
Every child’s talent deserves recognition—and guidance. Through the Talent Hunt Program, participants will receive:
In-depth skill assessments
Feedback for future development
Guidance toward state and national coaching opportunities
Follow-Up Support Includes:
Home training plans for parents
Virtual check-ins & video tutorials
Special Olympics registration assistance
“This is just the beginning of a long journey of growth,” shares Vikram Purohit, Senior Observer & Mentor for the camp.
Volunteers: The Soul of the Camp
Working behind the scenes is a passionate team of volunteers—trained, motivated, and compassionate:
Special education interns
Para-sports enthusiasts
Sports science students
Community youth mentors
Their round-the-clock involvement ensures each child feels safe, seen, and supported.
“They’re more than helpers—they’re friends, guides, and role models.”
Why This Camp Stands Out
Holistic routines inspired by the Gurukul system
Professional training from certified national coaches
Physiotherapy and adaptive fitness routines
Creative expression through performing arts & media
Education in hygiene, nutrition, and mental well-being
Lifelong mentorship beyond the camp
A Movement of Inclusion & Inspiration
The Fit 5 Club Summer Camp 2025 is not just an event—it’s a movement. One that redefines how we see disability, potential, and progress.
“These children are not disabled—they are differently exceptional,” says Bhoopendra Bhatt.
“Our goal is to help the world see them the way we do: full of strength, spirit, and brilliance
